4 Determination of the field of extended application
4.1 General
4.1.1 Before there can be any consideration for extended application, the doorset shall have been tested
in accordance with EN 1634-1 to achieve a test result which could generate a fire resistance classification
in accordance with EN 13501-2 at least equal to the fire resistance classification required from extended
application considerations. These tests are referred to in this document as basic tests.
NOTE If a doorset is classified from one side only (e.g. just opening face), the extended application rules cannot
lead to a classification of the opposite side or of both sides.
4.1.2 A review of the doorset construction parameters can indicate that one or more characteristics
may be improved by a particular parameter variation. All evaluations shall be made on the basis of
retaining the classifications obtainable from testing to EN 1634-1, including those lower than the test
duration. However, this shall never lead to an increased classification for any specific parameter beyond
that achieved during any one test unless specifically identified in the relevant construction parameter
variation tables.
4.1.3 If, when following the extended application procedure, any component of the classified product
cannot be covered by the extended application rules, a representative specimen incorporating the
particular construction parameter variation shall be tested on both sides or on one side, if the required
classification is from one side only. Otherwise, that part shall be omitted from the subsequent extended
application report and classification report.
4.1.4 A hardware performance sheet (HPS), according to EN 16035 may be part of the documentation
for the assessment and determination of the extended application.
4.2 How to use extended application rules in Annex A
4.2.1 Identify the variations from the original test specimen(s) which are required to be covered by an
extended application report.
4.2.2 Locate the variations in the appropriate parameter variation by reference to columns (1) and (2)
in the tables of Annex A.
4.2.3 Establish from the contents of column (3) in the tables of Annex A whether any extended
application is available beyond the direct application rules (DIAP) in EN 1634-1 without the need for
further testing.
4.2.4 Where this is deemed to be possible, it can be recorded in the extended application report
together with any appropriate restrictions and the stated rules from column (3) in the tables of Annex A.
4.2.5 Where the variations required can only be achieved from additional testing, the additional test
shall be made on a representative test specimen i.e. a doorset of the same or more onerous configuration.
Alternatively, column (4) in the tables of Annex A identifies an option for alternative testing and relevant
test parameters.
The most onerous configuration shall be the one with the lowest relevant performance in terms of mode
of failure and/or highest distortion, but shall also be evaluated taking the intended construction
parameter variation(s) into account. For example, if the construction parameter variation involves a
change to glazing of side panel and overpanel configurations then the previous result where these have
been tested would need to be used to make the evaluation of most onerous. The result for a single
unglazed doorset would not be suitable and can therefore be discounted when making the evaluation.
4.2.6 When an additional test according to column (4) in the tables of Annex A is performed and the
result of this additional test meets the provisions given in column (3), the possible extensions in column
(3) can be applied based on this additional test.
4.3 Procedure for maximum field of extended application
4.3.1 It is possible to provide an extended field of application from a single test. However, where a
manufacturer intends to produce a range of doorsets incorporating single leaf doorsets and also double
leaf doorsets, with or without side, transom or flush overpanels, with or without glazing, with or without
air transfer grilles (ventilation grilles/louvres), with alternative items of building hardware, etc., it is
recommended that careful consideration be given to the complete range of doorset designs and options
in order to minimize the testing required before testing commences.
4.3.2 Establish all the construction parameter variations which are required to be part of the product
range.
4.3.3 Determine which are the most important design and configuration requirements and incorporate
as many as possible into the specimen(s) for the first tests in the series.
4.3.4 Conduct the first fire resistance test or a series of tests and then establish which of the original
desired construction parameter variations have not been covered by the fire resistance tests, including
direct application possibilities.
4.3.5 Identify these construction parameter variations in Annex A and establish if any extended
application is possible without further testing.
4.3.6 Record this for the extended application report together with any restrictions and rules given in
column (3) in the tables in Annex A.
4.3.7 Evaluate which, if any, of the desired construction parameter variations have not been covered
by the field of direct application or the initial field of extended application derived from 4.3.5.
4.3.8 Determine if the product range is to include only single leaf doorsets, only double leaf doorsets or
both. Where only single leaf doorsets are to be part of the product range, the outstanding construction
parameter variations shall only be incorporated into specimens for single leaf doorsets. Where only
double leaf doorsets are to be part of the product range, the outstanding construction parameter
variations shall only be incorporated into specimens for double leaf doorsets. Where single leaf and
double leaf doorsets are to be included in the product range, the outstanding construction parameter
variations for the extended application of single leaf doorsets may be incorporated into either repeated
single leaf doorset tests or, in the weakest option, as defined in column (4) of the table in Annex A, double
leaf doorset configurations. See also Annex B.
4.3.9 Select the required outstanding construction parameter variations from column (1) and column
(2) in the tables of Annex A and observe from column (4) which are the most appropriate, weakest
specimen options for further testing.
4.3.10 If the complete selection of required construction parameter variations has not been covered by
the tests completed in accordance with 4.3.8 and 4.3.9 above, then an appropriate test or tests may be
repeated with the additional product variations incorporated.
4.4 Analysis of test results
4.4.1 In order to maximize the extended field of application, it is important that the test reports shall
record details of any premature integrity and/or insulation and/or radiation failure, also record details
of any significant distortion to evaluate low, medium and high distortion (see Annex A).
4.4.2 Where a series of tests forms the basis for the extended application, the field of extended
application shall be based on the lowest performance achieved from the complete series of tests unless
premature failure has been attributed to one or more specific construction parameter variations.
4.4.3 Where it has been possible to identify specific parameter failures, the extended application for all
other construction parameter variations can be based on the performance achieved after isolating the
premature failure(s), provided the requirements of subclause 4.1.1 are met. Where the specific
construction parameter variation requires category B performance (see EN 1634-1 for the corresponding
overrun times) and where failures can be identified as having no relevance to this aspect of the
construction, they can be disregarded and the failure time and associated category revised accordingly.
5 Extended application report
Prepare an extended application report in line with EN 15725 and in accordance with the requirements
of EN 15269-1, based on the results of evaluations in accordance with the above.
When additional test data based on similar designs are used to extend the field of application, the
rationale for using the test data should be mentioned in the EXAP report.
If the results of the extended application procedure lead to a classification that only covers one side (e.g.
either opening or closing face) of the doorset, this shall be unambiguously stated in the report.
6 Classification report
The classification report shall be determined from the results of the extended application report and shall
be presented in accordance with EN 13501-2.
Annex A
(normative)
Construction parameter variations
A.1 General
The tables below are designed to be used by experts competent in the field of fire resistance testing of
hinged or pivoted steel doorsets.
The tables shall only be used to assess a field of extended application when at least one positive test to
EN 1634-1 can generate a fire resistance classification according to EN 13501-2. Only results from tests
in accordance with European Standards can be used as basis for extended application.
For EI doorsets, EW doorsets and E doorsets with insulation inside with an intended classification from
both sides (opening into the furnace, opening away from the furnace) the following rules shall only be
considered, if the basic tests were performed in both directions.
The first two columns identify possible variations to the construction details of the specimen tested.
For some parameters, it is necessary to evaluate whether the specimen displayed a high, medium or low
level of distortion during the fire resistance test. Where this is the case, the following levels shall be used
to establish high, medium and low distortion doorsets as measured using the maximum relative
movement at any position between the edge of the door leaf and door frame or between the meeting
edges of door leaves or the relative movement of the framing members for panelled systems. The
measurements shall be taken from the start of the fire resistance test at any time during the complete
required classification period. The deflections shall be measured at the positions given in EN 1634-1:
— low < 40 % of effective rebate depth;
— medium ≥ 40 % and ≤ 85 % of effective rebate depth;
— high > 85 % of effective rebate depth.
Evaluations of the influence of a construction parameter variation on the fire resistance performance
characteristics (E/EW/EI) lead to the judgement of the possibility of extending the field of application,
the results of which are given in column (3) of the following tables. In certain cases in column (3), it is a
requirement to achieve category B.
Where additional fire resistance tests are deemed to be necessary, the type of specimen approved for
incorporation of the changed construction parameter is defined in column (4). Where it is possible to use
information from fire resistance tests performed on one configuration for evidence on a different
configuration, this allowance has been made in order to reduce the overall number of tests required for
extended application evaluation e.g. from single action doorsets to double action doorsets.
A.2 Guideline for the evaluation of the required orientation of the test specimens
(only for doorsets that are required to be tested from both directions)
Where an additional test is required in column (4) of the following tables, the orientation of the test
specimens shall be as follows unless otherwise specified in column (4):
a) If all basic test(s) achieved category B, both test directions are considered as being equal, so the
additional test may be performed opening into the furnace or opening away from the furnace.
b) If any specimen of the basic tests achieved category A only, the evaluation of the test direction for the
additional test shall follow the procedure below:
b.1 The test direction for the additional test shall be derived from the result of the basic test(s). The
orientation of the specimen on which the first integrity failure occurred during the basic test(s)
determines the face to be exposed for the additional test. If no integrity failure occurred during
the basic test period, follow items b.2 or b.3.
NOTE The required test period is the time given in EN 1634-1 for the corresponding classification period. The
test period for category B includes the corresponding overrun time.
b.2 For construction parameter variations which are critical in relation to deflection (e.g. size,
reduction of reinforcements), the following applies: face to be exposed is determined by the
direction with the higher deflection during the basic test(s) period. If both directions (opening
into the furnace or opening away from the furnace) behave nearly similar related to deflection,
follow items b.3 or b.4.
b.3 For construction parameter variations which are critical in relation to temperature and/or
radiation (e.g. changes in core material density): the face to be exposed is determined by the
direction with the higher temperature and/or radiation during the basic test(s) period
dependent on the intended construction parameter variation (e.g. if the intended variation is
related to the door leaf only, the temperature on the door frame is not relevant). In case both
directions (opening into the furnace or opening away from the furnace) are nearly similar in
temperature and/or radiation, follow items b.2 or b.4.
b.4 If the temperature and/or radiation and the deflection are nearly similar for both specimens
during the basic test(s) period, both test directions are considered as being equal, so the
orientation of the specimen for the additional test may be opening into the furnace or opening
away from the furnace.
In order to maximize the possible field of application from a minimum number of fire resistance tests, the
construction parameter variations have been spread over a series of test specimens. The recommended
tests for each parameter are dependent on the classification required and the preferred options.
Where more than one single parameter variation is required, the influence on other variations shall also
be taken into account.
Where an additional test is required in column 4 of the following tables, the fire resistance test shall be a
full scale test according to EN 1634-1 at least with the size of the initial test described in 4.1.1. or the
details changed are limited to the tested size unless it is otherwise specified. Where column 4 specifies
that the additional evidence required is “not size-dependent”, the specimen may be tested at any size as
long as the test is in accordance with EN 1634-1.
Interpolations between minimum and maximum size tested of any measure is possible if not otherwise
specified in Table A.1 to A.7.
In the Tables A.1 to A.7 below, clause numbers in brackets represent the number of rule in the previous version of EN 15269-2. These are added for information
only.

In certain cases, the rules given in Section A are also appropriate to side, transom and flush overpanels or the door frame. Where this is the case, it is clearly indicated at
the beginning of the relevant section. For double leaf doorsets, both leaves shall be of the same basic construction.
The term “intumescent seal” includes both: intumescent strips and seals with intumescent characteristics.
